There have been a few posts around the web this summer on the relaitonship between Christians and "Is-real-al". Here is an article on Christians Zionism that discusses a new political organization, Christians United for Israel. If this is not enough, you can examine the "highly arbitrary" Rapture Index and read about the imminence of the Rapture on the site Rapture Ready or discuss the imminence of the Rapture on the Rapture Ready Bulletin Board.
While there seems to be a great deal of inherent anti-"love thy neighbor" sentiment on the Rapture site-- dicussed here --this does raise a few interesting conflicts of public policy and value commitments, especially how can you be "for" something when it calls for the necessary destruction of something and to what degree can religious interpretation shape political and military policy?
Oh, well. "That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane, Lenny Bruce is not afriad."
Bonus to anyone who knows what this song is about, which is ironic for this post.
